68 GT convertible project

The car is in good shape. The worst part is the interior. The floor looked pretty crusty but I think it's going to clean up OK.

The trunk is in good shape. The spare tire well is solid...it just needs to be cleaned up.

The strikers are pulled away from the door frame but that seems to be an issue with a lot of A-bodies.

What i am working on with my 67 cuda is making 1/16" steel reinforcing plates shaped like how i drew on your pic. These will be placed on the inside or backside of the door jamb and spot welded in place to reinforce the thin steel, then the floating nutplates for the striker pin will get welded to the new reinforcement plates. Replace old saggy door hinges while your at it, as a dropping door catch smacking the striker pin is part of the problem
